Heavy layers of loose white blooms along the aisle, perfect rows of white chiavari chairs set with the sea view in mind, and children joining for a sand-layering ceremony to signify the blending of a family.

Heartfelt toasts over gorgeous dinner tables with orchids draped over white linen, enveloped on four sides by Spanish Mission-style adobe walls with an open ceiling to the night sky.

A heavy scent of gardenia in the warm summer air and enough sweets to please a bride with a real sweet tooth!
